Who was it that spotted these players Rhys? Not Martinez, no it was Kevin Reeves who was with the club as scout when Brian Flynn was in charge but who was persuaded to move on to Wigan and take all his info on Swans targets with him. Martinez did however offer ridiculous long term contracts to such players as Pintado and Butler who were nowhere good as he thought they would be and it has cost us thousands in wages just to have them still tied to the club. As for rooting for Wigan to stay up then you are certainly in the minority, everyone I know was hoping it would be Blackpool who were still in the prem and not a team that has been kept alive by an elderly chairman who likes to get his own way by using his wealth to tap up managers and players.
